Shaking Through: Hezekiah Jones
Since January 2010, Weathervane Music and WXPN have collaborated on a music and video web series, Shaking Through. Led by Brian McTear of Miner Street Recording studios, they provide opportunities to rising, independent artists. The series has included several Philly bands, including Party Photographers and Reading Rainbow.
The latest installment stars the local indie-folk band Hezekiah Jones. We spoke to the band’s frontman, Raphael Cutrufello, by phone yesterday as he was driving to the Midwest where the band will tour for the next two weeks.
